These are images from William Hainsworth, the Seattle Municipal archives, the King County Archives and Museum of History and Industry. They show the Cottages just completed in 1916. The drainage images are from the Seattle Archives, images taken May 1916. The King County Archive images are from the 1930's and include the 'shotgun' style cottages on the current P-Patch site. The aerial shot we believe to have been taken in the 1950's.
